Editing Ball lightning (section)

=== Nanobattery hypothesis ===
Oleg Meshcheryakov suggests that ball lightning is made of composite nano or submicrometer particles—each particle constituting a [[Battery (electrical)|battery]]. A surface discharge shorts these batteries, causing a current that forms the ball. His model is described as an [[aerosol]] model that explains all the observable properties and processes of ball lightning.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Meshcheryakov|first=Oleg |year= 2007|title=Ball Lightning–Aerosol Electrochemical Power Source or A Cloud of Batteries|journal=Nanoscale Res.
